A Handbook of Soil-Plant-Water-Fertilizer and Manure Analysis

This book presents the commonly employed analytical techniques for soil, water, fertilizers, and manures in a single, comprehensive source. It is primarily intended for use in teaching and research in soil chemistry, soil fertility, fertilizer production, and water quality. As plant growth and development are closely linked to these fields, the book also includes analytical procedures for the inorganic constituents of plants. The book is distinctive in that it covers all tested, proven, and widely used methods, along with their principles and appropriate interpretations, for determining nutrients in plants and soil, the quality of fertilizers and water, and other factors that impact plant growth.
